W e all want to enjoy this mystery called life and we all wish to have peace of mind in this world. These are important aspects of this reality we live in today. You may wonder why this is necessary. Because happiness is what matters most in our lives and by having happiness we can be at a calm centre to face a new day. But having peace of mind is very hard to achieve in this world because we tend to focus more on the outside rather than inside to find our worth.
Where does worth come from? Worth stems from inside us, from what we have and what we value most in our lives. You cannot consistently focus on things outside to add substance inside. It is equivalent to travelling upstream in a river during a storm; you are bound to fail because it cannot be done successfully. Why not invest some of your time on fine-tuning who you are? In time, this is guaranteed to bring you that joy, happiness and fulfilment that always comes from searching deep inside your soul. If you still don’t realise the value of this, remember that in everything you do, happiness is what gives substance to life and without that substance, or should I say that spark, you lack the very essence of who you are.
But how can you define who you are? To find that answer, you need to think and dig deep enough to find that source of who you are inside. Have you ever dug that deep inside your soul? If the answer is no, then why not make the attempt? Life is about being happy, finding the elements that make you who you are and finding yourself—this adds that value and worth. It hurts me as an individual to see someone lacking peace in their life at a particular age.
I know personally what is hurt, pain and suffering because I am a tenant living on this world, observing different experiences during my entire life. But when I took the time to focus on my own worth, my life began to change. You as an individual can change all the hurt and pain by how you possess it mentally and by facing it head-on. In other words, take charge of your life and claim your space. Yes, there will be hurt sometimes but it’s how you deal with it that defines the outcome.
Give some serious thought about the outcome you want for yourself. Do you want to consistently live your life with dull moments? Wouldn’t you want to improve your life? To improve anything, you need to take that bull by the horns in the figurative sense. Do you have that spirit or that zeal to want a better life for yourself? Chances are you are controlling your life by what you do now, but you can always aim for better.
All of us collectively need to find that inner spark. Once you find that spark or ingredient that defines who you are, then your life will improve.
Worth is always important and if you don’t have it, your life will never be valid in anything you do. So worth is essential to make you who you are but you must find the ingredients and elements that make you who you are. When this is achieved, it will improve your inner strength, inner beauty, inner soul and your life will arrive at a blissful state which will take you down the path of finding the centre in your world and life.
